  • Collaboration & Ideation: Work closely with writers, marketers, fundraisers, and program leaders to conceptualize and execute creative materials that meet strategic objectives. Contribute to campaign brainstorming and planning.
  • Brand Stewardship: Uphold and strengthen CURE’s visual identity, ensuring consistency across all design outputs. Develop and evolve templates and visual systems to increase efficiency and alignment.
  • Asset Management: Maintain an organized library of design assets, templates, and photography. Ensure deliverables are properly formatted for print and digital use, and meet technical specifications.
  • Project Management: Manage multiple projects in a deadline-driven environment, communicating clearly and delivering high-quality work on schedule.
